Frequently Asked Questions
The D-28 will be brighter and more versatile, while the D17 offers a darker, warmer, and more mellow tone characteristic of mahogany.
Martin's 'selected hardwood' neck is a modified low oval profile – it's generally comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes, but not as slim as some modern guitars.
Mahogany tends to have slightly less sustain than spruce, but the solid construction of the D17 ensures a respectable level of resonance and note longevity.
